Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Elden Companion at Free against Blasphemous's $7.99. Elden Companion also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Blasphemous's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (243 vs 3). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
